Can Container Houses Be Lived In Long-Term?

Container houses, as a new type of building, are increasingly widely used. Due to their affordability, ease of use, and quick assembly, they are in high demand as dormitories for migrant workers, in outdoor construction projects, and in everyday living spaces. With proper protection and maintenance, the lifespan of container houses can be greatly extended. So, can people live in these container houses long-term?




I. Are Container Houses Suitable for Long-Term Living?

The answer is yes, but for construction projects, they are mostly used as temporary housing because construction eventually ends.

After construction, most container houses are returned to the manufacturer or transported to the next construction site for continued use. Therefore, container houses have two sales models: leasing and purchasing. If intended for long-term living, it depends on specific needs; air conditioning, televisions, etc., can be installed inside.

Overall, container houses are relatively safe and comfortable to live in because they have good sealing and fire resistance.

II. Are there any health risks associated with living in a shipping container for an extended period? 


Many people worry that the paint and materials used on the container walls might be harmful. However, this is not the case. The paint is applied to the exterior, and there is virtually no odor inside. As long as you ensure regular ventilation, keep doors and windows open, and maintain a clean environment, there is almost no impact on health. Therefore, you can live there with peace of mind. If it were harmful, there wouldn't be so many shipping container manufacturers, and its uses wouldn't be so widespread. For example, we now have shipping container hotels, shipping container villas, etc.


III. Precautions when using shipping container houses

1. Be careful with fire and electricity during daily use, especially since some shipping container materials are not very fire-resistant.

2. Protect the container during transportation to prevent it from encountering hard obstacles that could scratch the protective layer on the surface.

3. Never damage the basic structure of the shipping container without understanding its properties. If you wish to modify it, contact the manufacturer.

4. Take appropriate precautions in areas prone to lightning strikes.
